of wire).
This property was advertised to be sold
at public auction on the 9th of March,
1886. Several large capitalists from
Northern cities were present on that day.
Among them were Robert Garrett, presi-
dent of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad;
Edward s. Stokes, Of New York Col
Onel Robert G.. IngersOll, counsel for f.
5. Stokes, and representatives Of the
Farmers Loan and Trust Company of
New York-all Of whom were holders of
alarge amount Of the tirst-mortgage bonds

The sale was stopped by order of Judge

Aged and Infrm Convicts-Disoharges.

There are in the penitentiary a number
of very old men-among them j. W.
Larke, who is over seventy. He was
sent in 1886 from Wise county for arson
for two years. Jordan Berry is another
very aged and feeble prisoner. He was
sent from Norfolk in 1873 for twenty-fye
years for poisoning with intent to kill.
John II. Miles %(colOred), sent from
Henrico in 1879 for twenty-five years for
grand larceny, is also near seventy.
There are many other old and feeble con
yicts, some Of them nothing but a charge
on the Commonwealth. But there is no
way provided for their release except
through the pardoning power, and this
has to be used very ju%diciously.
There have been thus far seven dis
charges in January. Two went ont yes
terday, TWO go to-day and two Thursday,
and seventeen sill be discharged the
remainder Of the month. For February
TWENTY-FIVE c%onyicts are docketed for re-
lease. 3. T. Truman, from Pittsylyania,
who has been at work on one of the rail
roads, was 10 have been released January
II, but he is held to answer before the

As Others See Us.

The Atlapta Constitution publishes a
long account of some old woman-tramp
being in Jail in Richmond, and
morales upon it rather to the dis
credit of this city, But the Constitution
forgot t o tell its readers that Atlanta is
more particular, and puts its tramps and
petty offenders of both sexes to work
breaking stone upon the street. The old
woman who was a native of Palestine
had comfortable quarters in Richmond
better probably than she ever had when
. sojourner in the land of her birth and
had equally as good fare.

Work to be Continued if Possible.

In consequence of the inclement wea-
ther it is almost impossible to quarry
stone at this season. Consequently no
more will be delivered at present. The
men are now engaged at work on the
stone on hand. As fast as this is finished
up the men drop off, but it is hoped that
before the supply Of stone gives out more
can be quarried and the work kept up.
Any suspension, however. is only tempo

Garry Me Back TO ola Virginia Shore

In the spring of 1886 a little negro boy
known as Monk went off with the Chan
frau Company. He has just written to
Justice Richardson that he is in Chicago
broke and out of work, sick Of the show
business, and wants to come home. He
says other niggers may like the North,
but give him old Richmond every time.
From little Monks antecedents, it is
doubtful whether he would be a very val
liable acquisition to society, and it would
probably be best for him to remain in
charming Chicago; but this shows that
even the poor, uncultivated darkey knows
that his honest friends are among the
Southern people.
